Recyle Your Underpants? Your Raggedy Underpants?!

It’s not only as bad as it looks; it’s worse!

Tamburina translates the Serbian:

Translation:

1)This is underwear that you have worn for many years. They are raggedy, but it would be a shame to throw them away.

2)Old underwear can be very useful. This is how: take the scissors and remove the fabric that goes between the legs.

3) When you finish that, you will have a convenient, short shirt.

4) If you don’t believe it, look how hot the shirt looks!

Notice that there are still holes — raggedy, ratty underwear holes — in your “new” recycled shirt.

Ugh.

Now, I collect vintage lingerie, which means, technically, that I buy (and, yes, wear) used lingerie — but that is nowhere near “raggedy” underwear. The only holes are those made by the manufacturer, thankyouverymuch.

And thank gawd the article doesn’t go there, doesn’t mention stains.

Crap, I just did.

And I used the word “crap” – doh!

Modern Woman Mondays: Labor Day Edition

We’ve come a long way, baby, trading in that typewriter for a personal computer, going from skirts to slacks… Of course we’ve also lost the freedom to smoke and fill-out our sweaters. Fair trade? Meh.

I Don’t Think My Kids Are Ready For Me To Make & Wear This

I only know that this is Gloria Trevi — and that I love it. Her top or bra cups are the same kitschy faces sewn into dolls or tissue box covers!

We Just Called ‘Em Shorts

OK, and sometimes we called them “jogging shorts” if we wanted to specify between the cut-offs and the (admittedly horrid) terrycloth shorts (and rompers). But nowadays the kids (laughingly) call them “dolphin shorts.” Which I completely don’t get.

I don’t get the “dolphin” part, and I don’t get the laughing either. In fact, I stopped watching basketball when the players started wearing those long baggy things that resembled baggy golf knickers. B-ball so lost the sexy then.

Dames & Dogs #15 – And Some Sort Of A Hat

A dame, a little dog, and Mickey Mouse ears — what could be better than that?

Maybe adding a dude too. (Love how his glasses mirror the mouse ears.)

And now just a dude — and the dog and Mickey Mouse ears. Because I just can’t get enough of Gala‘s photos.

Check Out These Cheesy Retro Underpants

We’re not calling them “cheesy” out of spite — these retro bikini panties include wedges of cheese in the cats and mice circle of life.  Set on a backdrop of bright yellow with mod orange polka dots no less.
